Lin Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but in the blink of an eye, he had figured out all the problems, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
at this time!
Xuanbing Gu Jiang spoke up, looking at everyone in the area where Lin Xuan was, and said in a deep voice: "Now the Ten Thousand Mountains and the Dark Demon Abyss are guarded."
"Hangu Pass, of course, needs someone to go. Who among you will go..."
As soon as Xuanbing Gu uttered these words, Lin Xuan could clearly feel that Duan Nantian and the others' expressions changed instantly.
Even Ke Tong, the man who had just spoken up for Lin Xuan, shut his mouth at this moment.
No one spoke to them.
No one else stepped forward.
Hangu Pass is too dangerous; once you cross it, you might not be able to come back.
After all, over the years, more than one or two garrison commanders have died at Hangu Pass.
"Lin Xuan..."
Seeing that no one answered, Xuanbing Gu frowned slightly, looked at Lin Xuan, and said in a deep voice, "General Mu Qingfeng recommends you. What is your opinion?"
"I!"
Lin Xuan chuckled, looking at Xuanbing Gu Jiang with a playful expression, and said, "General Gu, may I have a problem with that?"
Xuanbing Gu Jiang's lips twitched, and his eyes gradually became sharp.
Her tone was icy cold as she said, "The duty of guarding the garrison is the obligation of every divine general and garrison commander."
You have enjoyed the privileges granted to you by the motherland, so naturally you must make sacrifices.
Ke Tong, do you agree with what I said?
"yes……"
Ke Tong's expression changed, and his heart pounded. He said, "What you say is right, sir. It is our duty to cooperate with the motherland in guarding the various secret realms, caves, dangerous and forbidden areas."
As she spoke, Ke Tong turned to look at Lin Xuan and said, "Lin Xuan, although Hangu Pass is dangerous, with your strength, it's not a big problem."
“That’s right… Lin Xuan, Hangu Pass is indeed dangerous, but you are unparalleled in combat power and possess the Ancient Sacred Body, which greatly suppresses those demons and monsters outside Hangu Pass. You are the most suitable candidate.”
"For the sake of my Great Xia, you should not hesitate..."
...
As soon as Ke Tong spoke, more people stood up and spoke to Lin Xuan.
At this moment, Lin Xuan's expression became even calmer.
He felt no anger, only a chill.
This is the human heart.
For their own benefit, they can send others to their deaths without hesitation.
In a way, he was in the same camp as Ke Tong, Duan Nantian, and others, but these people betrayed him without hesitation so that they wouldn't have to go to Hangu Pass.
Decisive and straightforward.
At this moment, the selfishness of human nature was revealed so vividly to Lin Xuan.
"Lin Xuan... Since so many people recommend you, the task of guarding Hangu Pass will be entrusted to you. I hereby formally appoint you as the garrison commander of Hangu Pass."
They were stationed at Hangu Pass to defend against evil spirits.
Xuanbing Gu Jiang's eyes were icy cold. He didn't give Lin Xuan a chance to speak and directly ordered, "Lin Xuan, I hope you won't let us down, and you won't let Great Xia down..."
Xuanbing Gu made the final decision with a single blow, and the hall fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Xuan.
There was apology, there was sympathy, and there was also madness.
Especially Mu Qingfeng and the others, their eyes were full of resentment, mockery and killing intent as they looked at Lin Xuan.
At the same time, their faces showed excitement and exhilaration.
They seemed to already see Lin Xuan die at Hangu Pass.
"Hahaha……"
Lin Xuan immediately laughed, a very loud and unrestrained laugh.
His gaze was indifferent as he swept over everyone before finally settling on Xuanbing Gu Jiang, saying, "What a show!"
You guys really went to a lot of trouble to put on such a show in order to deal with me.
pity!
The acting was a bit rough around the edges.
"Lin Xuan, you..."
Some people were angry and wanted to speak out.
Lin Xuan's gaze swept across the man, revealing a sharp edge like a blade. The man who had spoken immediately changed his expression, feeling as if his consciousness had been struck by a mountain.
He spat out a mouthful of black blood and immediately fainted.
In a short time.
The entire hall fell into a deathly silence. Everyone was shocked, chilled to the bone, and stared at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
With just one glance, a Celestial Town general was knocked unconscious.
Lin Xuan's strength is terrifying.
In fact, the most shocked person was Xuanbing Gu Jiang, because she was the strongest among everyone present.
That's also the one who felt it the most deeply.
Although Lin Xuan's gaze wasn't directed at her, the vast, ocean-like, and star-like sharpness of his will still made her heart tremble.
At this moment, Xuanbing Gu Jiang couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.
By agreeing to the request from that faction, I've offended a prodigy like Lin Xuan. I don't know if that was the right or wrong decision.
However, she was a determined person and knew that things had come to this point and there was no way out. Even if she apologized to Lin Xuan now, it would be of no use.
They would only be looked down upon by Lin Xuan.
Moreover, she is a dignified ancient general, with one foot already broken through the limits of heaven and man, and is a being who can enter the War God Palace in the future.
Why would he apologize to a junior?
Even if she is wrong, it is absolutely unacceptable.
"It's just Hangu Pass. Since you all want me to go there so much, then I'll go and fulfill your wishes."
Lin Xuan chuckled coldly, his gaze sweeping over everyone once more before continuing, "You want to see me die at Hangu Pass?"
hehe!
Then you'd better open your eyes wide and look carefully, and understand everything..."
After saying that!
Lin Xuan ignored everyone and got up to leave the hall.
As for Xuanbing Gu Jiang, he didn't even glance at him again. That old hag dared to scheme against him; this score wasn't over yet.
Of course, Lin Xuan wouldn't make a move at this time. Firstly, he might not be able to win, and secondly, this place wasn't suitable.
Don't be fooled by the fact that only these people attended this meeting.
Gu Jiang only sent Xuan Bing, but Lin Xuan was certain that there were many people secretly watching him.
This matter was already determined from the very beginning.
His appointment to guard Hangu Pass was perhaps the result of negotiations between those above him.
Today's scene was just a formality, a show.
Lin Xuan was as clear-headed as a mirror, seeing everything clearly, so he naturally wouldn't get angry and take action at this time; a few words of teasing would suffice.
If they really fight, he won't get the better of them.
However, this incident only strengthened Lin Xuan's resolve.
"They're all a bunch of old foxes, driven by self-interest. Only by strengthening themselves can they truly succeed; everything else is futile."
Lin Xuan sneered inwardly: "Hangu Pass, hmph... although it is a dangerous place, it is also a treasure trove."
If I can take it over, it will become the base of my Shanhe Army in the future.
Become my fortress in the outer heavens.
What a load of bull, Shanhaiguan Pass! Hah... I'm never coming back..."
